British metal legends, Saxon, are extremely excited to announce a full Hell, Fire And Steel UK & Ireland Tour, which will see the band perform songs from their new album, Hell, Fire Aand Damnation, as well as playing their classic album Wheels Of Steel in full, from start to finish for the very last time as well as all the other hits and fan favourites too.

Also, so as to make it even more special, Saxon have invited their great friend the legend that is Dirkschneider, formerly of Accept, to perform his classic album Balls To The Wall in its entirety too, which should make for one hell of a memorable and unique night.

Saxon’s Biff Byford says, “We first toured with UDO and Accept in the U.S.A on our Crusader tour and have done lots of stuff together since, but we have never toured the UK together so this is gonna be epic. Balls To The Wall and Wheels Of Steel under the same roof... it’ going to be something really special to witness. Bring it on!”

Tickets for the tour go on sale on Friday, November 29 at 10 AM, with tickets available here.

Saxon's Hell, Fire And Damnation is a superlative British heavy metal classic. Biff Byford delivers his richest vocals in years, Nigel Glockler and Nibbs Carter on drums and bass respectively lay down the rhythmic law with bombastic power, and the guitars of Doug Scarratt and Brian Tatler are fresh and fiery, a perfect complement to each other, carrying an overall energy and fury which will have fans salivating. Musically, Saxon bring it all to the table. There's a furious tribute to actual heavy metal in the denim & leather coated super-sprint “Fire And Steel”, a wonderful nod to the NWOBHM's birth in the electric mid-pace “Pirates Of The Airwaves” and the glorious frenetic assault of the title track “Hell, Fire And Damnation”.

Produced by Andy Sneap (Judas Priest, Exodus, Accept and Priest guitarist) and Biff Byford, with Sneap mixing and mastering, Hell, Fire And Damnation strides the perfect line between confident, current power, and gloriously irreverent flexing of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal muscle which Saxon co-created.

Hell, Fire And Damnation is available in a variety of formats and orders can be placed here.
